Donna is a great communicator and cat sitter! I’m an anxious cat mom but Donna sent me tons of adorable photos of my little buddies and sent detailed updates on how they were all doing. I’d book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Donna!!

If I could give Donna a 10 star review, I would! We had hired her before and she was fabulous! This time with some bumps in the road, she went way beyond expectations. When she saw ants in my cat’s food, she cleaned the bowl, relocated the food and offered to get any traps, purchased them and located them to the perfect spots. Later when our 10 year smoke alarm decided to go off, she located it and offered to meet someone there to have it fixed. She communicated with me by text and phone. All way beyond cat care time! She is the best!! 😻

Donna did such a great job with our 6 kitties and even went above and beyond to drop food for the community cats we look over. She was on time every day, sent lots of photos, and gave updates on everything. We were nervous to use a cat sitter for the first time but so happy we found Donna.

Donna was very easy to communicate with, and she took great care of Clio. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and it was nice to come home to a cat that wasn't stand-offish.

Donna is great with our cats and even gets our shyer cats to come around 🤗 She provides a lot of detail, photos and speedy responses! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a detail oriented, cat whisperer of a cat sitter! She clearly loves working with the kitties 💗

Donna was the highlight of our vacation. Unfortunately due to a terrible experience with VRBO and the condo owner we cut our vacation to one night. Donna was very understanding and as always very helpful. Sorry Donna to come back so soon.

Donna was AMAZING. She sent multiple photos every day, and successfully medicated our cats (both being a bit challenging...like holding pills in the mouth for extended periods THEN spitting it out or hiding under a bed). One of our kitties has had many medical issues so we were nervous leaving him for 2 weeks, but he was in such good hands with Donna. We came back to a perky, healthy, happy little fella. 🥰 Looking forward to hopefully having Donna's help on our next trip!

it was easy to book and communicate with our sitter. She did a great job, she was even able to pry our cat out from under the sofa and give her medicine. It made my trip better knowing there was a caring person looking out for my "baby".

Donna was perfect. Punctual, communicative, caring, and extremely reassuring to an anxious kitty momma! Donna sent me pictures and kitty selfies to alleviate any worries. Also stayed in our home and took great care of everything. I was able to relax on my trip knowing all well with my furry baby. Thank you Donna!

Kaitlin
This was our second time using Donna to cat sit, and she was wonderful! Each time she visited our home, she sent multiple photos of our sweet kitties and sent me a text update of how they were doing. I so appreciated it, and I'm glad our kitties got some extra love and pets from her while we were away.

Donna was a fantastic cat sitter. She was attentive and took plenty of pictures for us each day. I appreciated her updates. She was also able to administer insulin injections for our diabetic kitty. Overall, we had a great experience with her and we’ve already booked her again!

After a long 18+ months of establishing codependency, it was not easy to leave our fluff for an extended trip. Donna was communicative, extra attentive, and showed up early. She is a superb kitty surrogate, and helped ease our guilt/travel anxiety. Hairriet is a fan too.

Donna was absolutely incredible! She made sure to do all the things needed as well as sending pictures of the refilled bowls. She was extremely understanding when I needed to reschedule the visit. My mind was put completely at ease when I received her message and pictures from her stop by to check in on my cat and I will absolutely look into booking with Donna next time I am out of town!

Laura
This was the second time Donna cat-sitted for us and it was great! She sent us daily reports and pictures. The house was in perfect conditions and very tidy when we came back, and, what is more important, our cats were very happy and calm. They really like being with Donna, and when we travel we are very happy to leave our cats with her. Thank you so much Donna! Stella and Merlin are missing you already.

We were very pleased with Donna. She texted us every day and sent us pictures of our cats. When we came back everything was perfect and the cats were in an excellent mood. We have already booked her for other cat sitting in the future. Thank you Donna for being so great with Stella and Merlin!

Donna did a great job baby sitting my cats. She filled in for another sitter who cancelled at the last minute and saved my weekend trip. She is a great communicator always sharing when she was feeding my guys and she was always on time for feedings. She is lovely, flexible and trustworthy. I highly recommend Donna and hope she will babysit for me again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Richmond cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.
Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
